Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Jacket Ivey in Plaid Brown is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight, water-repellent outerwear option. Its key benefit is providing reliable protection from light rain and wind without adding bulk, thanks to its 100% polyamide outer and Warmloft filling.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for mild weather conditions, offering protection against light rain and wind. It's suitable for spring, autumn, and cool summer evenings.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and remove promptly.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with a drawstring, allowing you to adjust the fit for better protection.
What does 'Warmloft' insulation mean?

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

How does the adjustable hem work?
The hem features a shockcord, which is a bungee cord with a toggle. You can pull the toggle to tighten the hem, helping to seal out wind and cold.
Is this jacket made from recycled materials?

Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there are no fabric obstructions. Gently try to move the zipper. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
The Warmloft filling may have compressed over time or due to washing. Ensure the jacket is properly dry and consider gently fluffing it. For colder conditions, layer the jacket over a warmer base or mid-layer.
Stains on the fabric
For minor stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. For more significant stains, follow the machine washing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or stain removers that could damage the fabric or DWR finish.
